Everything you love will probably be lost, but in the end, love will return in another way. Believe.

About me

There is a story behind my headline: At age 40, philosopher Franz Kafka (1883-1924), who never married and had no children, walked through the park in Berlin when he met a girl who was crying because she had lost her favorite doll. She and Kafka searched for the doll unsuccessfully. Kafka told her to meet him there the next day and they would come back to look for her. The next day, when they had not yet found the doll, Kafka gave the girl a letter "written" by the doll saying "please don't cry. I took a trip to see the world. I will write to you about my adventures." Thus began a story which continued until the end of Kafka's life. During their meetings, Kafka read the letters of the doll carefully written with adventures and conversations that the girl found adorable. Finally, Kafka brought back the doll (he bought one) that had returned to Berlin. "It doesn't look like my doll at all," said the girl. Kafka handed her another letter in which the doll wrote: "my travels have changed me." the little girl hugged the new doll and happily brought her home. A year later Kafka died. Many years later, the now-adult girl found a letter inside the doll. In the tiny letter signed by Kafka it was written: "Everything you love will probably be lost, but in the end, love will return in another way." We can change loss and pain to wonder and love. Embrace change. It's part of the plan. Yes it's hard - but necessary; it's how we grow.

I am searching for someone to be in my life. Someone to have fun with, someone to talk to. A friend, best friend, partner. Hopefully, a wife. I don't care what she does for a living, what her past is, or if she has kids already, I don't care if she is rich or poor. I am not even sure about what age I prefer her to be, or her appearance. What I do care about is that she is an honest, purposeful, self-respecting, strong and loving woman. A woman capable of mature thought, communication, decision, behavior, and commitment. A woman that understands she will be the last woman of my life. A common problem with dating sites is that there are so many profiles, so many photos, so many choices, so many options around the next corner, just after the next click... We all have a 'shopping list' of traits and interests we look for in our 'ideal' mate. But our 'ideal' is not real, it is fantasy; because Mr. and Ms. Perfect don't exist except in our heads. Here we can reach out half a world away and meet and grab hold of something virtual - someone perfectly imperfect to love - and make it real. We can create something meaningful and life-changing for ourselves out of nothing. Those of you, both men and women, that are on this site to play games or run scams are missing out on a great opportunity - a life-changing opportunity to meet someone half a world away - that could become one of the most important people in your life. That is what I want, that is why I am here. May God bless this broken road that all of us are on. There are no knights-in-shining-armor, there are no princes or princesses, there are no heroes or heroines. They don't exist. But I do. And so do you. As far as the woman I am searching for, I am searching for a loving, purposeful, happy, centered, passionate, understanding woman that knows the meaning and purpose of commitment. This shouldn't be about the age or appearance of the man or the woman. It should be about their mental and spiritual health - compatibility. It is about respect, communication, honesty, maturity, and commitment - traits that have little to do with age or appearance. All we can do is find someone that we like and bond with to love. So hold on tight, and let fate play its hand. None of us are getting any younger and the clock is ticking. This profile text may sound complicated but it isn't - I'm really just a simple man.
I will know when I find you. May God bless this broken road we all are on.
